Racing: Takeover Target recovers from injury that ended career

SYDNEY - While his young brother Predatory Pricer has signalled he will be a spring force, Takeover Target is continuing his recovery from a career-ending injury in England.

Predatory Pricer drew first blood on the road to the major features with victory over Whobegotyou in Saturday's Liston Stakes.

His older half-brother underwent surgery in England after breaking a cannon bone.

Takeover Target's trainer Joe Janiak has returned to Australia and accepted two trophies honouring the champion sprinter at last week's NSW racing awards.

"He should be back home in two months," Janiak said.

"He is recovering well and being spoilt in the stable at Newmarket. The vets are really pleased with how things have gone."
